PPC candidate wants to bring strong representation for northern Sask.

Sep 3, 2021 | 5:00 PM

Dezirae Reddekopp wants constituents to support her as she campaigns to become an MP for the People’s Party of Canada (PPC).

Reddekopp, who currently lives in Regina, is willing to relocate to the Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River riding if she is successful in her campaign. It is her first time running in a federal election and she joined the PPC because she believes the platform is realistic and founded on common sense.

“Over the past year, I have had many discussions with people,” Reddekopp said. “One key point that seems to be on repeat is that nothing makes sense. People are depressed and anxious potentially with what the future might hold, myself included. I want honesty and transparency from our government.”

People’s Party of Canada goals that align with her values are reasserting national sovereignty, ending government corruption, fiscal responsibility, rebuilding relationships with Indigenous Peoples, respecting veterans, repealing all anti-freedom bills, ending citizen censorship and encouraging investment growth in small and medium businesses.

If elected, Reddekopp plans to be a voice for constituents and she will do so within the best of her capabilities. She wants to listen to residents and be a strong representative in Ottawa.

“I do not want to live in a divide any longer,” Reddekopp said. “I also understand that there has always been a divide among Canadians. Enough is enough. A previous manager has told me I build bridges where others have burned them down.”

In specific to northern Saskatchewan, Reddekopp explained residents need support in areas such as addictions, suicide and mental health. She noted funding and resources need to be better aligned to have better outcomes for those issues.

Reddekopp also added there are concerns with residents who don’t want to receive a vaccine and how it is becoming increasingly mandatory. She said the PPC believes people should have a choice whether or not they get a shot.

“As a Metis woman, I stand tall and strong for the freedom of choice and government respecting people instead of walking all over us,” Reddekopp said. “I will do my best to work with the people in my community.”

Reddekopp has been a healthcare provider for over 15 years with experience as a primary care paramedic and respiratory therapist.
